There is something profoundly Jamaican about a church on a hillside.
It may be timber-framed and weathered by salt air, or cast in concrete with bold lettering across its façade. It may be Anglican, Baptist, Pentecostal or Seventh-day Adventist. But wherever you travel across this island — from St. Thomas to Westmoreland — the presence of the church is unmistakable.
For more than three centuries, Christianity has shaped Jamaica’s moral vocabulary, community structures and even land ownership patterns. And today, as that influence evolves, we would be naïve to assume the property market will remain untouched.
This is not a theological argument. It is a social observation.
And social change always finds its way into real estate.
